Get Fitter, Help a Critter at West Hills Athletic Club's Fitness Launch

Posted by Nicole Crocker for West Hills Athletic Club

Get fitter and help a critter! Donations accepted from April 22 through May 11

West Hills Athletic Club is teaming up with the SPCA of Southwest Michigan to celebrate the launch of all-new music and choreography in our Group Fitness Classes!

The SPCA does amazing work for homeless pets in our area, and to support their mission we’ll be accepting donations on their behalf. See and download their wish list below, or stop by the front desk for a printed copy. Then bring in those donations starting April 22 through our Fitness Launch event on May 11.

And if you’re looking for a walking buddy, don’t forget that there are lots of furry friends at the SPCA who are waiting for their furever home!
